In a recent exclusive report, actress Deepika Padukone clarified her professional relationship with filmmaker Sandeep Reddy Vanga. Amidst ongoing industry speculation about a possible collaboration, Padukone stated that she has met the director only once in her career. She further emphasized that she never received a formal script narration from him and explicitly stated that she would not be interested in working on a project with him in the future.

This clarification comes as Vanga remains a polarizing figure in the Indian film industry, particularly following the release of his recent projects which sparked significant debate regarding their themes and character portrayals. While Padukone’s comments serve to shut down rumors of an upcoming partnership, they also highlight the clear professional distance she maintains from the director. The Hindustan Times report frames this as a definitive rejection of a potential partnership, though it does not provide Vanga’s perspective or confirm if he had ever formally approached the actress for a specific role. As of now, there has been no public response from Vanga’s team regarding Padukone’s remarks.
